TA LIVE is a series of TV adverts which will be broadcast live from operations from tomorrow, 16 February. The adverts, which will air on ITV1, will show Territorial Army soldiers trained and ready to serve alongside the Regular Army.

The adverts will deliberately steer away from the ‘lock and load’, ‘up and at ‘em’ scenarios. We plan to show ordinary people doing extraordinary things, working comfortably alongside the regulars to deliver an output in very, very challenging circumstances.

Whether at home or abroad, the TA exists to support and serve alongside the Regular Army and offers a huge choice of roles: from drivers to doctors and infantry to intelligence.

Joining the TA has many benefits such as being paid to train, opportunities to gain vocational qualifications and taking part in adventurous training activities. Territorial soldiers train in their spare time so that they’re ready to serve alongside the regulars when required.

The UK’s Reserve Forces are a vital component of our Armed Forces; contributing to the public good we call defence. They have made, and continue to make, a significant contribution to the nation’s defence and security.
